Riff City, Slim Gaillard (1946) Bel-Tone RecordsGaillard could play several instruments and managed to turn the performance from jazz to comedy. He would play the guitar with his left hand fretting with fingers pointing down over the fingerboard (instead of the usual way up from under it), or would play credible piano solos with his palms facing up.

Saturday Matinee – Andrea Motis & friends, Stéphane Grappelli w/ Bill Coleman, Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks
Spanish singer and Jazz trumpeter Andrea Motis does Dizzy.
On the Saturday afternoon of the 6th Jazzing Festival, September 2019, there was a concert at the Bar Colombia in Sant Andreu town centre (a district of Barcelona, Spain) with Joan Chamorro, Andrea Motis, Carla Motis and Josep Traver plus some of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band including Joan Marti, Alba Armengou, Elia Bastida, Alba Esteban, Pablo Ruiz and Anastasia Ivanova (their guest from Moscow) here performing ‘On the Sunny Side of the Street.’
Bill Coleman (1904-1981) & Stephane Grappelli (1908-1997) ca. 1976. Great stuff for early morning forty miles to East Jesus road trips, or just sitting on the back porch watching the world go by.
Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks (with the Acoustic Warriors) 1989 reunion concert on Austin City Limits. Hicks had a solid fan base, but he got into alcohol and drugs, pissed off a lot of people. Years passed before he cleaned up his act and started over. DH&HHL came onto my radar in 1978 with (what my ears heard as) “Crazy Cuzzie Iz.” Thought he was singing about a family member.
Let’s do something tomorrow. See you then.

My WebEx Meeting Notes – August & September 2020
Pen on paper, 8-1/2 x 11, 6.25 square inches per meeting.
Business has slowed down for the folks I’ve been doing consulting work for and so has my participation in the daily phone convos. In fact, I’m looking for work, or some semblance of a cash flow. Other things are in the mix, and one of these days I might post about them. Or not.
Hopefully the ‘vid mongers stop this shut down insanity soon, but the big money is still skittish. The election poses more uncertainty, not so much for the outcome, but for the probability of more violent mayhem caused by the unshackled terrorists and a cesspool of governors and congressmen who sold their souls a long time ago.
Guess we wait and see…
